You have physical access to an Aruba CX-Switch with unknown/lost credentials. What are the possible steps to rebuild the credentials? (Select two.)

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, E

To regain access to an Aruba CX switch when credentials are unknown or lost, one can press and hold the clear button, then power cycle the switch to reset the password. Additionally, using the boot profile 0 at the boot loader menu can be used to bypass the current startup configuration, which may include the unknown credentials.

If not, we can always try connecting via the console and power cycling the switch as a backup plan.
